Unitsd States Marshal Waters. OF this city.
viii bs slightly surprised when he reads his
TELEssAA- HERALD. This all comes Of the
fact that Deputy United States Marshal
George III. Jacks Is now prisoner Al Police
Headquarters in this city On q charge Of
burglary.
Yesterday morning Deputy United States
Marshal Jacks arrived in the city with

lodging house on Catherine-st. In
Auskegon, had been arrested on . charge of
selling WHISKY without . license. and the
federal officers brother had accompanied
the two as a witness. The case was sell
down for trial in the United States Court
this morning, but st q late hour yesterday
afternoon Chief OF Police William Graham,
OF Mnskegon, arrived in town and went 10
the Bridge Street House. tie there found
Officer Jacks and invited him to
walk up to Police Headquarters
and meet General Smith. Jacks readily
scquiesced and the trio went up TO the Po-
lice Station. Once within the walls Chief
of Police Graham clapped the handouts on
the United States Marshal.
my God. VIII. what does this mean2"
asked Jacks of his old-time friend, Officer
Graham.
1T means" replied the Nuskegon Chief,
''that the detectives have Deen through your
rooms. George"
The Deputy Marshal had not another
word to say, and was Immediately locked in
4 cell.
On the recommendation OF several DEM
ocrats, and owing TO the fact that Jacks
had been a deputy sheriff at Muskeeon,
and . member of the police force there for
several years, he was last Spring appointed
a Deputy oy U. s. Marshal Waters. Jacks
has always been quite pop
ulsr with his brother officers, partic-
ularly with the former Sheriff Bresnahon,
whose deputy he was. He also served on
the police force for time under the present
Chief Graham. He has always been q very
oitcious official and always ready TO enforce
the very letter of the law if fee was in
sight.
Some time last Summer Jacks stole
(''swiped") basket of peaches
from farmers wagon and
treated his friends on the street to them.
There has lately been seysIsi mysterious
and petty burglaries in Muskegon and
Chief Graham. although disiikIng to be-
investigate matters ana TO that end he has
of late kepta close watch on Jacks. The lat
ter by sending his brother out as spy
had worked up case against Deaf Tom"
OF selling liquor without license, and yes
terday brought the offender TO this city.
Officer Graham seized upon this occasion as
a good time to search Jacks room. This
was done thoroughly, and the Investigations
prove without doubt that Jacks is the man
who burglsrized John Olsens tailor
store in Muskegon on the 18th
OF October last. Forty bolts of cloth
taken from Olsen's store were found in the
Deputy L. $. Marshal's room, together with
plunder of all kinds, including new clothes
lines which have been missei from hardware
stores, lamps, crockery, etc. A great num-
Der of ten cent pieces, nickels aud pennies
were found wrapped up in newspapers.
There Is no doubt in my mind that Geo.
Jacks cracked a safe which was blown Ooeu
in our town a short time ago" said Ch ef
Graham last night. II believe he had a
| pal in the Olsen burglary"
The Muskcgon Chief will take his distin-
gnished u. s. officer and burglar to Muske-
gon early this morning.
